The Spirituality of Blood
Blood is very exciting stuff.
For one thing, we can’t live without it. If we’re in an accident, and lose too much blood, we will die.
Blood tells the whole story. Often, when we visit the physician, a blood test is ordered. The story is here: our past, our present, our future.
In the womb, we shared our mother’s blood, who shared her mother’s blood, who shared her mother’s blood, and on and on and on to the beginning of time.
That being said, each person’s blood is unique. Like fingerprints, no 2 blood profiles are the same. And, blood changes with life events, nutrition, age. Because of this, there are many issues with blood:
high or low pressure,
circulation,
arteriosclerosis
thrombosis,
stroke
hemorrhage,
varicose vein,
anemia.
If you find yourself dealing with one of the above diseases, you are dealing with a spiritual disease. That doesn’t mean you forget the professional medical practitioner. It does mean that you do what that practitioner tells you to do and you deal with the spirituality issues in other ways.
When I think of the spirituality of blood, questions come to mind:
Have you recently found or lost a loved one?
Are you depressed?
Where are the conflicts in your life?
Are you nourishing yourself sufficiently?
Are you under a lot of pressure?
Are you angry?
Is someone or something threatening you?
Are you rigid with yourself and others?
Do you need to become gentler with yourself and others?
Are you afraid?
Are your life patterns stuck?
Does your lifestyle go against your beliefs?
Is too much going on in your life?
Are there too many people in your life?
What, if anything, is draining your energy?
Now might be a good time to try to deal with these questions one-by-one.
In order to develop the spirituality of your blood, proper diet is extremely important. Don’t just go to the grocery or the pharmacy and buy vitamins and minerals haphazardly. Find a nutritional consultant and get what you need.
No one diet fits all. Find the diet best for you…makes you feel better, helps maintain your weight, results in better blood test results. Your goal is to live a life bringing strength, vitality, purity to your blood.
Guided meditations can be instrumental for spiritual healing.
If you are a Reiki practitioner, give yourself sessions in which you offer an intent to heal and regenerate your blood to its optimum state. If you are not a Reiki practitioner, now is a good time to find one. This might even be a good time to learn Reiki therapy for yourself.
As your blood begins to experience this optimum state, you’ll invite joy, free expression, creativity, balance in your life.
Reflexology for the Spirit sessions are appropriate here. Homeostasis is necessary for the blood and for life in general. Reiki and reflexology work hand-in-hand here to help achieve the spiritual health our bodies need….no, crave.

Forgiveness Meditation with Mary, Queen of Angels
Find a quiet place:
A room, or a corner of a room.
A garden.
A place in a park.
Any place where you can be quiet and relax.
Sit quietly as you feel tension leave your body. Feel it drain out of your fingertips and toes.
Take a few breaths. Breathe deeply as you inhale and then exhale.
Now, in your mind, take yourself to a meadow. Sit quietly on a rock located in this meadow. Look around you and notice all you see.
You have come to this meadow to learn to offer forgiveness. You’ve tried throughout your life to offer forgiveness at times when you feel you’ve been wronged. You’ve never felt truly successful in your efforts to forgive someone.
So, you are here today, sitting quietly on a rock located in a meadow.
A person comes to join you. You see Mother Mary, the Queen of Angels.
As she comes to join you, take note of how she looks. What color are her robes? What is her hair like? What does her face look like? Try to notice every detail.
She joins you to help you learn to forgive. Mary will remain with you as long as you need while she assists you in your efforts to forgive.
Mary is here to teach you…
without words,
without pictures…
how to be silent and learn to forgive.
Spend time with her in deep silence, meditating on teachings she offers you now. You know that, as the mother of Jesus, she experienced life events requiring serious forgiveness. Mary persevered. You feel now the experiences Mary had in her life which caused her to learn to live the act of forgiveness.
It’s not necessary to know anything about Mary in order to understand what she’s teaching you. It’s not necessary to be a Catholic, or a Christian even. Mary is recognized not only in Christian theology, but also in Orthodox and Muslim teachings. Mary’s story is universal, touching us all. Her life motivates us to all learn to forgive. Mary belongs to all of us…no matter what our religious beliefs.
When you feel that you have absorbed all you can at this time, you know it is best to go. You thank Mary, Queen of Angels for visiting with you and for teaching you to forgive.
You know Mary is here for you. Feeling gratitude, love, light, you know you can return to this meadow any time you need to visit with Mary again.

Guided Meditation: An Angel Points the Way to a Digestive System in Perfect Health
SEEK OUT A COMFORTABLE PLACE WHERE YOU WILL NOT BE INTERRUPTED. Turn on some quiet music if you like. Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Feel your body as it becomes comfortable in this place you have chosen.
TAKE A FEW DEEP BREATHS. Now, take a few relaxing breaths. As you breathe in, feel the healing air you are bringing into your body. As you inhale now, feel the pure healing air as it enters your nose, throat, and lungs. Each time you inhale, allow your body to breathe in more healing air into your lungs and then into every artery, and finally every vein in your body.
With each exhale, you release toxins, stress, negativity which have collected throughout your digestive system. Your exhales are gently detoxing your system.
As you are breathing in this healing air, you become aware of a a special healing light accompanying these inhales. As you inhale, feel the healing light wash over your body. Feel this healing light as it bathes your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual being.
Now, notice that this light is focusing on your digestive system, washing toxins and any issues away. This healing light gives health to your digestive system beginning with the mouth and traveling down through the esophagus, stomach, liver, small and large intestines, rectum and anal canal. This healing light brings health to every organ down to the cellular level.
Breathe deeply and naturally now for a few moments as you receive the nurturing energy from this light. Allow your digestive system to melt into this healing moment. Allow your digestive system to absorb this purity and perfection. Relax a bit more and listen for the sounds of the forest which is enfolding you.
You find yourself on a path in the forest. As you move down the path, you feel the air on your skin. You smell the soil, the leaves. You hear the forest sounds: the birds, rustling leaves, small animals skittering. The healing light you breathed in a few moments ago is allowing you to become one with the forest.
YOU NOW BEGIN TO NOTICE A FEELING OF HEALTH. You feel very alive.
You look down the path and see an angel ahead. You notice everything about this angel who is welcoming you. You will want to remember this angel and this place when you return for visits. Notice the colors, the textures, the sounds, the smells.
This angel is here to help you focus on the health of your digestive system.
You feel that this angel is here to help you be healthy and stay healthy.
Your angel begins to share with you how your body is now working as it properly should. You pause a few moments and receive the wisdom this angel has for you.
You begin to gain insight about what blocks need to be released, what organs need more nourishment, how to channel stress and negative emotions into positive life experiences.
AS YOU GAIN INSIGHT, YOU BEGIN TO HAVE YOUR OWN QUESTIONS. You know this angel has the answers for you. You know that if the answers do not come immediately, there is no need for concern. You know from the angel’s presence that the answers will come in another time or at another place.
It’s time for you to go now. It’s time for you to return to your room and your safe, comfortable place where you began this meditation. As you leave the forest and return to the comfortable place in the room, you feel the healing light stay with you.
You return to the moment relaxed, refreshed, knowing you can visit this forest and this angel whenever you want.
Thank you for reading this guided meditation.
